Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan stepped into the Wende Hall, but immediately after, they hesitated whether to exit.
Because the Wende Hall at this time is a bit too lively!
Originally, the Wende Hall was just a place where the emperor rested when he went to court and retired, so it was relatively empty and ordinary officials had no chance to enter.
But at this time, the Wende Hall seemed very lively. There were many couches in the hall, and several imperial students were reading the memorials here, and then gave an oral report of these memorials to the emperor, explaining the memorials concisely and concisely.
According to the emperor's reply, he will carry out the things mentioned in the article.
Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan were summoned to the palace to discuss matters.
Although the two of them were already important ministers in the court and the two highest commanders in the Western Army besides His Majesty the Emperor, they did not dare to have anything to do with affairs in the court that were not under their control.
So when they saw the scene in the Hall of Wende, they instinctively wanted to get out of the way.
However, the emperor in the Wende Hall waved to them and motioned for them to come in.
"You two are important ministers of the country, so you don't need to worry about so many red tapes.
"Our dynasty has always used civility to suppress military force, and the status of military personnel has been suppressed to a very low level for more than a day or two. This is simply incorrect.
"Literati can govern a country in peace and stability, but they cannot bring peace to the world. Remember the website m.xbequge.com
“Although a warrior may lead an army outside and pose a threat to the government, as long as he knows his people well and is responsible for their duties, he can keep the edge of his weapon facing the outside world without hurting himself.
"Only mediocre men play the trick of using culture to suppress force. I don't use it.
"not to mention,
Sooner or later in the future, you may also become generals and generals."
Fan Cun was not particularly good at speaking in these situations, but after all, he had the official plug-in Sheng Taizu, and they had worked together for a long time, so his views on many issues naturally moved closer to Sheng Taizu's.
There is actually nothing in the Wende Hall. Although the memorials received by the emperor must be kept secret in principle, when Liu Fa and Zhong Ping came to discuss matters, the imperial students had stopped reporting on the memorials, and it was impossible for these two generals to do so.
See the contents of the memorial.
At this time, Fan Cun was just showing an attitude.
Sure enough, Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan both had expressions of gratitude on their faces.
These words sounded so inspiring to warriors like them!
The Qi Dynasty used culture to suppress military force since the founding of the country. It can also be said that during these more than a hundred years, the warriors of the Qi Dynasty have been suppressed. Even many talented warriors were suppressed and died in depression.
.
How could Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan not know?
And this new official, no matter what he said or did, obviously made them, the warriors, very grateful.
Especially what the officials said, "Sooner or later you may become generals or prime ministers in the future," unintentionally painted a big picture for them. And strictly speaking, this is not a picture, but it is very likely to become a general.
Factual!
The magnanimity he showed alone was already much better than that of the late emperor.
What's more, Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan also clearly saw the differences between the new official and the former emperor from many of his actions, not just in words.
During this period, the officials did not appoint governors, but handled all government affairs themselves.
In addition to integrating the forces within the DPRK, weeding out dissidents, punishing officials who were corrupt and perverting the law, and eradicating those who favored them, this official also did several things.
The first is to continue to let the troops from all over the world come to the capital to serve the king, and to clarify the rewards and punishments for the king after that.
The second is to replenish military rations and various supplies for the Western Army, make serious promises to the soldiers, and prepare the necessary property for rewards.
The third is to give full trust to Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan, allowing them to take charge of the defense of the capital and formulate combat plans against the Jin people outside the city.
On the surface, these seem to be extremely simple measures.
Anyone with a brain should do this.
However, after experiencing the two former emperors, Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan understood how difficult it was to implement these three measures.
What did Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong do?
The matter of King Qin entering the capital has been delayed, and the Jin soldiers were almost ready to fight before giving the order; and after King Qin's army arrived, let alone a reward, there was not even a word of encouragement, and there was no unified order; and when the battle was over,
Halfway through, he suddenly felt that a peace treaty could be signed, and he felt that King Qin's army had eaten too much, so he turned around and dismissed it.
But this time, Qi Yingzong didn't even allow King Qin's army to come again. Unless the peace agreement was about to be completed, there was no need to come.
Regarding the sergeants, whether they were soldiers in the battle to defend the capital or various Qinwang troops, Qi Yingzong was extremely stingy. He would rather rob so much property from the city and give it to the Jin people than use it to
Reward soldiers.
As for letting the generals openly take charge of the defense of the capital and formulate combat plans against the Jin people outside the city... that is even more impossible.
In fact, throughout the Jingping Revolution, Zhong Pingyuan's strategy was completely correct.
Whether it was King Qin at the beginning, or later he suggested waiting for King Qin's army to arrive and confirm the absolute superiority of the troops before attacking, or he bit the Jin soldiers when they retreated for the first time, rebuilding the Yellow River defense line, etc., although it was not necessarily under the circumstances at that time.
The optimal solution, but at least it is the most stable and correct decision.
But what did the court do?
The surprise attack must be made known to everyone, and an elite Western Army will be sent away; the pursuit of the Jin people is not allowed, and the Yellow River defense line is not rebuilt at all; in order to understand the siege of Taiyuan, Zhong Pingyuan is urged to prepare supplies, rewards, etc. are not in place
Under such circumstances, he rushed into battle, resulting in Zhong Pingyuan's death in battle.
Of course, in this dimension, King Yun played by Fan Cun rushed to rescue Zhong Pingyuan at the critical moment and solved the siege of Taiyuan, but Zhong Pingyuan had firmly stepped on all the pitfalls ahead.
So how could they not be moved when this official could trust them freely at this time?
What's more, Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan knew clearly after working together in the Western Army for such a long time that the military level of this official was actually very high, and could even be described as unfathomable.
Perhaps, this is the person who was born knowing it?
As a big boss who "does it for me", he gave them full respect at this time and gave them a feeling of being trusted.
Of course, perhaps it is precisely because the officials understand military affairs that they are given full respect. And the more a rookie like Qi Yingzong who knows nothing about military art, the more he will give blind orders.
Arriving in front of the emperor, Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan began to report.
"After the officials and Jin people were stationed in Moutuogang, they also had some friction with our Western Army. There was an element of testing between them, and there were victories and defeats.
"The Jin people planned several attacks, but they were all repulsed by our army.
"At this time, several Qinwang troops have arrived, and with the response of several rebel troops from the rear, the time has come for us to have a decisive battle with the Jin people."
Fan Cun nodded.
All of this was naturally expected by him, oh no, Taizu Sheng.
Jin people also watch what others eat.
The Jingping Incident was an accident purely caused by the emperor's stupidity. This was not only reflected in the defense of the city, but also in the field battles.
It goes without saying that the city was stormed when the army was about to attack the camp. The key was that after the various Qin Wang troops arrived, the number of Qi troops outside the capital city had exceeded that of the Jin troops. However, Qi Yingzong did not let these people play a big role.
.
At that time, the number of troops of the Qi Dynasty was far greater than that of the Jin Army. Although the Jin Army was so powerful all the way south that almost no Qi army could resist it, it was impossible for the Jin Army to completely eliminate these Qi troops.
So when Zhong Pingyuan led the Western Army back to the capital for the first time, such a strange phenomenon occurred.
The Jin people were stationed in Moutuogang and did not dare to attack rashly. After Zhong Pingyuan entered the city, the Western Army and the scattered Qi Army and King Qin Army in the surrounding areas also stood still. The two sides remained in a stalemate for a while, until that
The stupid plan to attack the camp upset the balance.
It is enough to see from this that the Jin people actually did not dare to attack these surrounding King Qin troops rashly.
If they are really confident, they can completely kill all these King Qin's troops during the siege. If there is not even a single combatable soldier around the entire capital, whether it is to siege the city or negotiate a peace, the Jin people will not be able to do it.
Take more initiative?
In other words, the Jin people are actually not sure of destroying all King Qin's troops. These King Qin's troops are not enough to attack, but they still have no big problem in self-protection.
However, King Qin's troops were not subordinate to each other, and they all knew that their friendly forces would be immobile if they were beaten, so no one dared to take the lead.
According to Zhong Pingyuan's method during the first siege of the capital, as long as he waited for more troops to form a numerical advantage over the Jin people, and then let him coordinate the overall planning, there would still be a high chance of victory.
But Qi Yingzong didn't listen to him.
The current situation is actually somewhat similar.
Although Qi Yingzong issued an edict to disband all King Qin's troops, after King Yun entered the capital and seized the throne, he issued another edict for King Qin's army to come. Moreover, he also sent people to contact the rebels from all sides to take joint action.
After this period of waiting, the Qi army surpassed the Jin army in number.
During this process, seeing the continuous mobilization of various armies, the Jin people were certainly a little panicked.
But they didn't have any good solution.
At this time, they were stationed in Moutuogang and faced off against the Western Army. The Jin people tried several times to raid the Western Army, but under the defense of Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan, they failed to gain any advantage.
The Jin people also discovered that the Western Army's camp was heavily defended with deep ditches and high fortifications. If they insisted on attacking, it would be difficult to achieve the desired results.
With the Western Army as a thorn in the side, the Jin people could neither attack the city nor free their hands and feet to attack other King Qin troops. They were very afraid that the Western Army would make a surprise attack.
We can only sit back and watch the army continue to gather.
To be continued...
